Pet care experience

Resposable keeper

I have gained valuable hands-on experience acting as the primary caregiver for my brother’s dog. My responsibilities include house-sitting to keep the dog comfortable in his own environment, maintaining feeding routines, and ensuring he gets plenty of exercise through regular, energetic walks. I treat the home and the pet with the utmost respect and care.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide dedicated pet care exclusively in the owner's home, where the pet feels safest and most comfortable. My commitment is to ensure a secure, trustworthy, and stimulating environment. I dedicate my time to being fully present, playing with the pet, and guaranteeing they receive the necessary exercise, including walks appropriate for their needs. Crucially, my care is always based on the owner's specific instructions; I will strictly adhere to all guidelines regarding feeding, medication, routines, and any special requirements, ensuring a stress-free experience for your pet.

Amazing experience with Nicolas. He took such a good care of Mila, she just loved him. We are definitely going to book with him again. He was punctual, and follow all of Mila's routines. We are so pleased! 100% recommend 👌

Nicolas has been amazing with my dog. He walks him twice a week and has also looked after him many times. He is very reliable, patient, and clearly great with dogs — my dog absolutely loves him.

Nicolas has taken care of my dog on several occasions and I honestly couldn’t recommend him more. He is an excellent dog carer who works with a lot of professionalism, patience, and genuine love for animals. My dog absolutely adores him — he gets extremely happy every time he goes for a walk with Nicolas or stays in his care, which says everything. Nicolas is very reliable, attentive, and always makes sure my dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. He clearly understands dogs and their needs, communicates well, and gives great peace of mind as an owner. I always feel confident leaving my dog with him, knowing he will be treated with kindness, respect, and responsibility. I would not hesitate to recommend Nicolas to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker or sitter.

Schedule

As a full-time Master's student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I am typically free and highly available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On those days, and outside of my primary study blocks, I can reliably commit 1 to 2 hours per day to spend with your pets, which can include walks, playtime, feeding, and focused attention. My studies often mean I am working from home, which provides additional flexibility throughout the week to check in on or spend short periods with the pets as needed.

Before caring for any pet, it is essential that I gather specific, detailed information to ensure their safety and comfort. I need to know about any medical conditions, allergies, or required medications, including dosage and schedule. Understanding the pet's temperament, behavior patterns, and socialization is crucial—do they have issues with other pets, specific commands they respond to, or any anxiety triggers? Finally, I require a clear outline of their daily routine, including feeding times, preferred walking routes, bathroom schedules, and rules regarding furniture or access to certain areas of the home. This comprehensive knowledge allows me to provide personalized, safe, and effective care.
